--- --- FILM POSTER
In the decades of the 60s, 70s and early 80s were several "outsiders" in the form of film directors, eager to portray the closely as possible, the seamy side, suburban and decadent of those generations, I am referring for example, directors like Fassbinder, Paul Morrissey, John Waters, Pasolini and even our Almodóvar. They all threw the house through the window into your creative effort, and your intent to scrub his face to right-thinking society, but an alternate reality as valid as the normally accepted by the fees charged in each period. I'll start polishing these old gems of celluloid occasionally in my blog, and to inaugurate it as one of the early films of John Waters = "Mondo Trash", one of his earliest works (1969) available network. And of course we start with a simple review biography of this singular director ... 
--- --- JOHN WATERS
Biography: Nicknamed
the beat generation writer William Burroughs "The Pope of Trash" John Waters (April 22, 1946 , Baltimore, Maryland, USA) became a cult director in the 70s thanks his comedies filthy, rude, satirical and irreverent. With titles like "Pink Flamingos", "Polyester" or "Hairspray" director, screenwriter, producer, actor, photographer and editor of Baltimore is a basic reference undergound dirtiest movies, cool, shameless and camp, that is, as stated Susan Sontag, artistic expression consciously artful, quirky, funny and exaggerated. John Waters is the son of Pat and John Waters. After working as a puppeteer for children at the institute Waters recorded his first films. There, along with a handful of friends formed a group which he called The Dreamlanders and a 8 mm camera. stories began to roll trying to subvert the values \u200b\u200bof the average American. Influenced by people as diverse as Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Herschell Gordon Lewis, Federico Fellini, Ingmar Bergman. In "Roman Candle" first appeared in his films Divine (Harry Milstead), drag queen who would subsequently become a regular in their productions, as well as performers like David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce and Mink Stole. Also involved in "Roman Candle" actress Mona Montgomery, who was once a girlfriend of John Waters until it broke up to start a courtship with John Liesenring, actor who appeared in his first feature film, "Mondo Trash" (1969), black comedy shot with the $ 2,000 he borrowed from his father in which Waters was responsible for all technical aspects. Had previously attended the University of New York but in the center would take very little. One day he was caught smoking marijuana and the next he was already out on the street with a letter that his teachers recommended to parents of Waters that his son needed to go to a psychiatrist.
SYNOPSIS
First would say it is a black and white film, but if my eyes are brown not fail me parts that rust-colored look, which is more than commensurate with the work bizarre try = World Waste. Secondly to say that the film has no dialogue itself almost entirely, except for a couple of monologues for the epiphanies of the Divine, which are to pee, is that in three scenes from the movie the Virgin Mary appears to Divine, and she begins to pray, saying things like - "Oh Mary ! teach me to be Divine ", ha, ha, ha ... And watch the last appearance in a pig pen where we see crawling on the shit Divine in ecstasy, more ha, ha, ha, ha ... For the rest of the movie is full of pieces Artist's own private collection of vinyl Waters, with whom he clearly had problems of copyright. On the other hand it seems that the film's title evokes other equity (almost documentary) of the era such as Mondo Cane, Mondo Freud, Mondo Bizarro, or Mondo Topless, Russ Meyer, one of Waters' favorite directors. The intro scene of the film is already declining, a executioner beheading chickens with an ax to the beast, the animals are jumping without a head, ha, ha, ha ... And the story itself has much to do with foot fetish, really everything revolves around them. It seems that this was the first feature Waters, is more than clear that she has a premonition exercise all that would follow his other movies seventies, particularly his trilogy Trash I'll try in this blog as it deserves, without further ado, here you have it, prepare your livers boys, submissive girls panties, it's going to start. ..
